Release Notes

Changes since KinectTools 0.1

  • Works in 32bit and 64bit mode.
  • Fixed crash when stopping and restarting composition.
  • Fixed depth image orientation.
  • Applied gamma curve and alpha channel to depth image. (For a given pixel, alpha transparent == Kinect couldn't determine depth.)
  • Added sample composition.

Known Issues

  • Color fringes on RGB image.
  • The USB driver is still dropping a lot of frames (so the effective framerate is about half what it could be).
  • Doesn't handle multiple Kinects simultaneously.
